Dear Xx. Xxxxxxx:
RE: CONSULTING AGREEMENT WITH FEC
---------------------------------
Pursuant to our various meetings and discussions pertaining to the engagement of
your services, this letter serves to confirm and acknowledge the arrangements
reached between Moorgate Management, Inc. (in formation) and FEC.
1. Moorgate will provide ongoing consulting services to FEC on all matters
relating to management, operation and corporate secretarial services. In
addition, Xxxxxxxx will assist in compilation of material for the drafting
and preparation of a corporate business plan and the 10SB filing with the
SEC to enable FEC to become a reporting issuer.
2. Moorgate shall be paid an annual consulting fee of US $125,000 payable
monthly. In addition to the consulting fee, FEC will also be responsible for
any and all reasonable disbursements and out of pocket expenses incurred by
Moorgate in the course of it providing the necessary services.
3. Since FEC is presently in a "start-up" mode, and is not adequately funded, we
have agreed that the consulting fee due to Moorgate may, with mutual prior
agreement, be accrued from time to time. Should any of the consulting fee be
accrued, either Moorgate or Xxxxx Xxxxxxx shall have the right to apply any
or all of the accrued consulting fees, together with any outstanding
disbursements toward exercise of any options that may be set by FEC either in
the name of Moorgate or Xxxxx Xxxxxxx.
4. The commencement date of your services shall be April 1, 1998 and be
automatically renewed on each anniversary for one year, unless otherwise
notified in writing.
5. Upon entering into this agreement, Moorgate shall be issued a signing bonus
of 200,000 common shares of FEC subject to rules and regulations of SEC.
FEC LETTERHEAD
6. As a further inducement, Moorgate shall be issued 400,000 warrants entitling
the holder to purchase one common share of FEC for each warrant so issued at
a purchase price of US $ 0.35. The warrants shall have a term of five (5)
years commencing April 1, 1998 and expiring March 31, 2003. The Share
Purchase Warrant Certificate shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule
"I".
7. Moorgate shall be solely responsible for all of its own corporate expenses,
including but not limited to office rent, assistant or substitute and
supplies that are used directly in the employee's work, etc.
Both parties hereby confirm and acknowledge that Moorgate Management Inc. is in
the process of being formed and is not currently in existence; except that the
name has been reserved. In the event Moorgate Management Inc. is not
incorporated, for whatever reason, this agreement shall deem to be in the name
of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, with Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx having full rights to assign this
agreement to a management company of his choice.
Please review the foregoing and if the same accurately reflects our
understanding, please be so good as to sign in the appropriate space below,
confirming the above arrangement.
Kindly execute both copies of this letter agreement, retain the original for
your files and return the enclosed copy to the writer's attention.
Yours truly,

resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and set forth on the
face of the Warrant Certificate.
Section 4.07 - Adjustment of Exercise Price
The exercise price and the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of the
Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the events and in the manner
following:
(a) in the event of any subdivision or subdivisions of the shares of the
Corporation as such shares are constituted on the Issuance Date, at any time
while the Warrants are outstanding, into a greater number of shares, the
Corporation will deliver at the time of purchase of shares, in addition to
the number of shares in respect of which the right to purchase is then being
exercised, such additional number of shares as a result from such
subdivision or subdivisions without the bearer of the Warrant making any
additional payment or giving any other consideration;
(b) in the event of any consolidation or consolidations of the shares of the
Corporation as such shares are constituted on the Issuance Date, at any time
while the Warrants are outstanding, into a lesser number of shares, the
Corporation will deliver and the bearer will accept, at the time of
purchase, in lieu of the number of shares in respect of which the right to
purchase is then being exercised, the lesser number of shares as a result
from such consolidation or consolidations;
(c) in the event of any change of the shares of the Corporation as such shares
are constituted on the Issuance Date, at any time while the Warrants are
outstanding, the Corporation will deliver at the time of purchase the number
of shares of the appropriate class resulting from such change as the bearer
would have been entitled to receive in respect of the number of
8
shares so purchased, had the right to purchase been exercised before such
change;
(d) in the event of any capital reorganization, reclassification or change of
outstanding equity shares of the Corporation or in the event of any
consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Corporation with or into any
other company, then the Holder of each Warrant then outstanding will have
the right to purchase and receive, in lieu of the shares receivable upon the
exercise of the rights represented by the Warrants, the kind and amount of
shares and other securities and property receivable upon such capital
reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or
amalgamation which the Holder of a number of shares equal to the number of
shares receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by the
Warrants would have received as a result of such event but the subdivision
or consolidation of shares at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser
number of shares, whether with or without par value, will not be deemed to
be a capital reorganization or a reclassification of the capital of the
Corporation for the purposes of this paragraphs (d);
(e) if the Corporation, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding, pays any
stock dividend or stock dividends upon the shares of the Corporation in
respect of which the right to purchase is then given, the Corporation will
deliver at the time of purchase of shares in addition to the number of
shares in respect of which the right of purchase is then being exercised,
the additional number of shares of the appropriate class as would have been
payable on the shares so purchased as if they had been outstanding on the
record date for the payment of such stock dividend;
(f) the adjustments provided for in this Section in the subscription rights
pursuant to any Warrants are cumulative; and,
(g) the Corporation will not be required to issue fractional shares in
satisfaction of its obligations but, if any fractional interest in a shares
would, except for the provisions of this paragraph (g), be deliverable upon
the exercise of Warrant, the Corporation will, at its option, in lieu of
delivering a fractional share, satisfy the right to receive such fractional
interest by payment to the Holder of such Warrant of an amount in cash
equal, computed in the case of a fraction of a cent to the next lower cent,
to the current market value of the right to subscribe for such fractional
interest, computed on the basis of the last sale price of shares of the
Corporation of the Nasdaq Bulletin Board preceding the day on which such
exercise takes place.
9
Section 4.08 - Determination of Adjustments
If any questions arise with respect to the exercise price, such question will be
conclusively determined by the Corporation's auditors, or, if they decline to
act, any other national firm of Chartered Accountants, in Vancouver, that the
Corporation may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records,
and such determination will be binding upon the Corporation and the Holders of
the Warrants.
ARTICLE FIVE - COVENANTS BY THE COMPANY
The Corporation will reserve and there will remain unissued out of its
authorized capital a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the rights of
purchase in the Warrants should the Holders of all the Warrants, from time to
time outstanding, determine to exercise such rights in respect of all shares
which they are or may be entitled to purchase pursuant thereto.
ARTICLE SIX - MODIFICATION OF TERMS, MERGER, SUCCESSORS
Section 6.01 - Modification of Terms for Certain Purposes

one or more, or all of the following purposes:
(a) adding to or altering these provisions in respect of the registration and
transfer of Warrants making provision for the exchange of Warrants of
different denominations; and making any modification in the form of the
Warrants which does not affect their substance;
